unusual number Of English over to

ing numbers every year. Tho excur-
sionists are Of all kinds. mill opera
tiyes, mechanics, and employees in
various trades and businesses. They
have got ahead here, anal they want
to show their fine feathers over
there.
"a singular practice has grown up
among the Scandinavian emigraats
in the northwest The severity of the
climate in some parts of Dakota and
Minnesota makes winter employment
an impossibil;ty, and the Scandiua-
Wan settlers, or large numbers of
them, start for Europe in the late
fall, spend the winter in Scandinavia
and then return to America in the
spring or early summer. The round
trip from the northwest to Sweden
and return does not cost them over

How about the Germans?"
1.-The Germans are rather careful
about visiting home until they have
acquired the protection which citi-
zens' papers give in that country; but
they do 90 III large mum bers when
they feel safe enough. One young
German, brought to this country
when child, and duly naturalized,
related to me the other day an inter-
esting incident illustrating the condi-
ton of affairs over there, When he
got to his native place, he started to
visit his uncle and his family. The
young German-American was attired
in suit of clothes which gave him
something of an official aspect. He
was surprised, on the door being
opened to him, to be received with
evident grief and glances of conster-
nation, instead of hearty welcome.
1t seems the family mistook him for an
officer come to drag the eldest son
of the house off to military service.
1t is no wonder that, under such cir
cumstances, German immigration is
large, while the immigrants are eau
tious about making return visits. -

The Sleep or Death.

An interesting description of the
sleepy disease" peculiar to Africa.
is given in the journal of an African
Cruiser" The persons attacked by
this singular malady are those who
take little exercise and live principally
ON vegetables, particularly cassada
and rice. Some observers ascribe it
to the cassada, which is supposed to
be strongly narcotic. Not improbably
the climate has much influence, the
disease being most prevalent in low
and marshy situations.
Irresistible drowsiness continually
weighs down the patient, who can be
kept awake only for the few minutes
needful to take a little food. When
this lethargy has lasted three or four
months death comes-with o tread
that the patient cannot hear and
makes the slumber but little moro
sound.

Some Methods OF Life-Insurance

A man may now, if he is careful

Tho Prospects of the Panama Canal
Company.

1t seems, therefore. probable that
the French will make strenuous efforts
to finish the canal; reports, on the
other hand, have been current as to tho
calculation of English, German, aud
American capitalists, in view of pos
sible collapse. A year or two will
probably determine the success or fail
ure of the company. 1t has. however,
resource wholly within itself-the
reduction of the cost by taking the
canal with locks instead of cutting
1t to the sca-level. This is the
course recommended by the commits
sioner Of the French Government,
Rousseau. Upon such conditions the
assistance of the Government might be
more readily obtained than If the COM
pany should persist in endeavoring to
carry out its original purpose. In case
the lock solution should DO adopted,
il is to be kept in mind that such q
canal at Panama possesses one I'M
questionable advantage over one at
Nicaragua; the former can, while the
latter can not, be converted into a sea-
level canal.
1t NAV be observed, besides, that the
only plan for canal at Panama ever
submitted By the engineers of the
United States, that Of Lull and Memo
cal, in 1875, is a plan including locks.
De Lesseps is not a man to neglect his
own interests; he might be ready
enough, no doubt, to take hint, never
mind from what source. Fds est ab

adopted, SO rs to get the canal through.

DiscipIinIng Children.

There are no two children who are
precisely alike. or who should have
exactly the same government, and
great discrimination is needfnl in an
plying discipline as well as instruc-
ton. One child may be exceedingly
sensitive and liable TO be misunder-
stood, while another is very bold and
forthputting. In such eases the form
er is always the sufferer. and Is often
made the scapegoat of the nuI sery.
ut is far better to punish too little
than too much. sad wise mother,
who had brought up family Of
seyen--iivc girls and two boys--to
honor and obey, and reverence and
love her. 1t is far better that child
should not receive the just punish
mcnt for misbehaYior than to be UNI
justly punished, the memory OF which
will always be bitter thought in the
mind.
Impulsive discipline cannot produce
good results in the government of
childrcn, and punishment bestowed in
anger viii never Guc!i the anger of
the child, but rather increase its
rage. Send child into a room by
himself while the anger isat its height,
and give no other punishment until
you are perfectly cool aud collected;
then you may make an impression
upon his mind that will be qs lasting
as his life, by calmly reasoning with
him, and showing him his faults. Do
you say that YOU cannot take the time
to discipline your children in this
way, but that, when they do wrong,
the punishment must quickly follow,
or else they will have nonep Do you
believe that it is too much trouble to
reason with them, and try to show
them that wrong doing can never
make them or others happy Timel-
trouble! Alas! when the last years of
your life are filled with trouble, and
your gray hairs are brought with
misdeeds OF your children, their du-
plicity and ingratitude having broken
your heart, then you may possibly re-
call the days when you could not
spare the time from social occupations
nor take the trouble to train their
minds ari 5ht, but placed your respon-
sibilities and duties upon the hired
servants, whose incapacitics you fully
understood. There is great deal of
trouble in this life, and many fami-
lies are disgraced and made wretched
by the ill-doings of their children,
because in their childhood, parents
would not exercise due amount of
patience with them. but utterly neg
lected them. A wise man once said,
when asked his secret of educating his
children in the way Of well-doing: II
have always found it desirable to be a
little deaf. little dumb, and little
blind. y Mrs.. So. ,hc O,ne johnson, IN

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,

wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American PEG
